One week after introducing an outfit inspired by "John Wick: Chapter 3," and less than a month after a massive partnership for "Avengers: Endgame," "Fortnite" is launching a new crossover event with Nike's iconic Jordan Brand.
Like past crossovers, the Fortnite x Jumpman partnership will include new outfits and a brand-new limited-time mode. Players can purchase the Hang Time bundle to unlock two character skins, Grind and Clutch - both outfits wear Jordan's signature sneakers and come with a set of customizable colors that lets players choose their favorite style.
The bundle is available for 1,800 V-bucks, the equivalent of $18. Sadly, there's no option to play as Michael Jordan himself.
The Fortnite x Jumpman crossover also added a limited-time mode called Downtown Drop, designed by Creative mode artists NotNellaf and Mollmolia. Players race through the streets of a Brooklyn-inspired map, collecting coins, grinding across rooftops, and leaping from giant ramps.
Completing challenges in Downtown Drop will unlock the Back Board, a new backpack item with nine styles based on popular "Fortnite" outfits.
